when i was working for a freight forwarder in Lodi, the drivers fucked a lot worse than that. generally it involved alcohol and mescalin, but there was no shortage of either. they would bring the girls they picked up off the streets back to the loading docs. 20 yr olds with full sets of false teeth from being beat so often. alcohol insures that really fugly people get laid regularly.
